The ability itself is good. But I think the DH deserves something different. That type of skill makes sense on a Barbarian, who will be right on top of mobs and in the thick of things. Increased attack speed, I think, is better for a class like the DH.
I promise you that you will take dmg.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
With the Gloom rune effect, its basicaly the same as Ignore Pain that the Barbarian has and I don't see anyone moaning about that being rubbish.
If you take "Ignorance is Bliss" with ignore pain its actually the exact same skill!
I prefer the hatred gen myself though.
@Peek If you want to look at it solely from a hatred stand point, then sure prep is better. However, that does not make it the better skill outright for every build. Depending on what abilities you use the amount of hatred/disc you need can vary drastically, thus the value of those 2 skills.Personally, I will likely be running with a hatred gen in my builds, and prep will likely be overkill.
Another thing to consider is that this is not WoW, you will not be standing stationary for very long periods attacking a single mob. There will be quite a lot of downtime running in between packs of mobs, thus a lot of time to regen hatred. It is not necessary to make a build that maintains 100% hatred indefinitely. A lot of the people obsessed with prep don't seem to understand that simple fact. The no hatred gen thread is a good example of that, but even in there they wouldn't dare claim prep to be the outright best regardless of build.

You guys are dellusinional if you think you can avoid every single projectile and attack monsters throw at you. Build up in an glass canon ranged class because you think you can avoid all damage is a terrible strategy in D2 and much likely will be in D3 since it's semi-impossible to avoid arrows and attack at the same time in this game. In the beta as soon as you face 2 or 3 skeleton archers, fi you plan on avoid all the arrows you won't have to time to attack. Imagine groups of 10 or 15 ranged mobs lol
Also against certain bosses i'm pretty sure this will simply rock. Activate and use rapid fire and i'm pretty sure you will be able to tank om alot of stuff while killing. It's not like the DH will have a 10 HP health pool and will be one shotted by fallens...
Not you guys, peek.

Just one problem. I'm right, and you are wrong. My current Demon Hunter build has 4 discipline skills, 1 generator and 1 spender. Also, if you don't run around like a chicken with your head cut off, you shouldn't be getting hit as a DH, Wiz, or WD hence why I would rate preparation better than shadow power for hatred regen.
Then your build sucks ass. Maybe I should have clarified that, "any non-shitty build..."
Yah you will never take dmg...lol. NEVER!
This is why we get stuck with the mickey mouse build calculator. so people like you don't make some terrible spec.

Also to further expand on what Nastai is saying, the Night Bane aspect is virtually useless as well considering Preparation's Punishment effect restores more (all) Hatred per Discipline too and they have the same cost. The only difference is the new leeching effect of SP which is far less usefull than the old effect imo.
In my build from the previous iteration SP played a big part, and I was not necessarily building around it, but the plan was to have as much up time as possible. Now I'm torn on whether or not the skill will even be in my build, and if it is, its ONLY for having a SECOND hatred regen ability in addition to Preparation.
Just one problem. He was right, and you are wrong. You can only make use out of 1-2 disc abilities, and prep although generates far more hatred wont heal you. Its the difference between having 1 or 2 abilities.
I agree though, I had big plans for the old shadow power.
